A few days before we sat with family who were going to the show, and they felt bad listening to them on youtube. However at the show everyone had a great time and were amazed of the good sound. So, as we are not a bunch of idiots, it probably means that on these park shows of 50,000+ people you don't exactly hear his problems like on soundboard or close recordings. Probably not good as it used to be but still super enjoyable for most people.

That's an interesting take. Where the acoustics good? Were your seats on one of the sides or close to the speaker (or somewhere where it could affect what you're hearing)
I only saw them once in a stadium - Vienna 2011. His voice was in good shape at that time, so it's not a fair comparison, but there were a few bum notes here and there and I still noticed them when they happened. Not as much as on YouTube, but they were still audible to me.
Plus, if we're talking the 2015 shows, I remember reading several reviews from the media and a lot of them mentioned his vocals were 'weaker than usual, but the crowd helped him' or something along those lines.
